Are people with Asperger's Syndrome and Autism unattractive?

Post Reply New Topic

Unlike folks with Downs Syndrome folks on autism spectrum do not have a distinctive look that sets them apart from the rest of the population. They look like most people in actual features, and don't look like each other than any more than NTs look like each other. And ASD folks, if anything, may be more likely to be even featured, and delicate featured, and symmetrical featured, on average than NTs. But we do tend to dress casually, not comb our hair, and not keep our shirt tails tucked in. Lol!

Im autistic but im attractive,in fact many people tell me iam beautiful

I know Im beautiful too but I do take a lot of time applying makeup and making sure I look well groomed not to impress anyone but just cos I enjoy making myself beautiful

I have golden wavy hair shoulder length and styled and I have wide brown eyes.
Apparently I was naturally very beautiful as a child too and people often commented to my mother on how beautiful I looked.

Not all are unattractive, I suppose?
Multiple guys were attracted to me when I was in highschool, even when I did not put any makeup on.
But they probably like me due to my interest in science and gaming, rather than my looks.
I'm not sure.

A lot of people on this forum are quite attractive.

I don't feel like I'm very attractive, but girls tend to tell me otherwise. *shrugs*

But as others have said, looks aren't everything. Looks can hook them in, but if you can't keep their attention, it doesn't matter for much.

There's a guy at my work right now who's kind of funny looking, but he always has a flock of cute girls following him around.

That is what I would be afraid of. I wouldn't want someone who is overprotective of me to the point that it would take away the progress I have made over the past five years. Of course, I wouldn't a cold, uncaring person, but I also wouldn't want someone to say, based on my differences, "Oh, should you drive a car?" or "Can you do anything?" That put me behind everyone else nearly all my life.

I have Down Syndrome and I am on the Autistic spectrum. I am sick of hearing the typical comments of: man up, toughen up princess or get over your Down Syndrome! Having Autism and Down Syndrome is unattractive to people who do not have Autism and Down Syndrome!

I think that's a very broad generalization that you've made. People on the spectrum are more likely to be attractive than they are to be common. I'm one of those types who doesn't really give a flying shag about fashion. Maybe I did when I was younger and I might again at some point, but not at this point in time. I have Beatle hair when I'm not wearing something that looks like a German helmet. I guess the right events need to happen in order for me to care about fashion and show my hair once again. I guess that I'll need to see where my circumstances lead me in Early 2019.

Attractiveness is subjective.
